Quotes 

• Murdock : [to his partners, forcing a deal]  Do I get the 25 million, or don't I?

• Murdock, Jr. : [Murdock's partners have walked out]  Look, Father... You don't have to insult them. They have a right to...

  Murdock : Curse those unclean mummies!... You know why they did that? They don't want me any bigger... I don't belong! First generation, never went to Yale! They better not come to this cripple or they'll be walking on stumps!

• Murdock, Jr. : [Murdock is enraged that his partners have walked out on him]  Will you just forget them?... You have enough money, Father. You don't need to...

  Murdock : I don't wanna hear another word out of you!

• Murdock : [Still enraged about his partners]  I have no intention of quitting... I'm not gonna take up needlepoint and I'm not gonna join any basketball team for paraplegics... I'm gonna build Kamani-Murdock!

• Murdock : [to his son]  Go on back to minding the store... That's about all you're good for.

• Murdock : [Phoning Laughlin]  Laughlin, Murdock... Let it happen.

• Murdock : [Murdock is mad at Laughlin for killing Cooper]  I wanna know why you murdered Cooper.

  Laughlin : Just following your orders.

  Murdock : I didn't tell you to kill him... I told you to get him out of the way for a while.

  Laughlin : Killing is clean... Unless Cooper pulls a Lazarus, there's no way he could come back to identify me.

• Murdock : [Murdock is irate]  Idiot!... Now you've got McGarrett and Five-O digging into the case...

  Laughlin : Oh, Let them... While they're busy checking Stan Cooper's dames, and hunting for a husband with horns, we'll pull our rip-off.

• Murdock : [to Laughlin]  Look, I give you a blue print... You stick to it!

• Laughlin : [to Murdock]  Don't hamstring me..I know what I'm doing

  Murdock : Last time you told me that, they pulled your license.

• Laughlin : You don't like what I'm doing... I'll just pull it off myself, and deal you out.

  Murdock : [laughing]  Try it.

  Laughlin : What are you gonna do?... Chase me in your wheelchair?

  Murdock : Well, now look... You're not stupid. Without me, you've just got a ton of fancy paper... You try unloading share one, and you're in the slammer.

  Laughlin : Okay, Murdock, we need each other... Just quit bugging me.

  Murdock : I don't wanna bug you, Laughlin... I don't wanna even see you. Just follow the scenario... One more stupid trick like that Cooper killing, and I'm calling the whole thing off.

  [Murdock leaves] 

• Murdock : [Murdock calls his son in the office]  I'm going ahead with Kamani-Murdock.

• Murdock, Jr. : [Murdock Jr. can't beleive that his father suddenly has the money to build Kamani-Murdock]  I don't know if your lucky or the greatest salesman in the country...

  Murdock : I make my own luck.

  Murdock : You are insane.
